Maintenance Tips
Inspect your sterndrive anodes regularly and replace them when they are significantly worn. Worn anodes provide reduced corrosion protection and can leave other underwater metal components vulnerable to damage. More frequent inspections are recommended for boats operated in saltwater or brackish water, or kept in the water for extended periods.
Why Replace Your Ring Anode?
A sacrificial anode is designed to corrode first, helping to protect your sterndrive housing and other metal parts from galvanic corrosion. Replacing depleted anodes on time is one of the simplest and most important preventative maintenance steps for sterndrive longevity.
